Notes
'Red' kangaroo paw (Anigozanthos 'Red') is a perennial for borders and cut flowers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It is drought tolerant and stays evergreen, and blooms open in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Emory Paul dahlia, Black bamboo, and Common myrtle.
